Our Stoney Elm Alpaca farm is in Western Wayne County, 15 miles from Lake Ontario. A pleasant area of the State that has many orchards and small farms, our alpaca farm was the first in the area and has generated a lot of interest. It is not unusual to have people with Children and Grandchildren stop and visit and ask questions about our animals.
Currently we have 6 females, 2 geldings and a young male. This year has been exciting with the birth of a cria from the first female born on our farm. Being inexperienced we started with 2 older (7years old) experienced mothers, a good choice for us, they proved to be good mothers and have to date given us healthy crias with good confirmation and fiber. Our goal is to continue to improve the herd by breeding to proven males, the fiber in this year's crias (3 females) confirms that we are moving in the right direction
We are retired from the normal 9 to 5 jobs, and are enjoying all aspects of Alpaca farming. We built our own shelters, grow our own hay, do all the shearing, and care for the animals ourselves. Helping and sharing information with other alpaca farmers, new and established, has been a most enjoyable aspect to this business.
Roger’s father and grandfather farmed the land that is now our farm, so managing a herd comes quite naturally to him, and it works well with the Christmas tree farm we established in 1975. All our alpacas get individual attention and they are all halter trained.Camri and Inca will make a good pair for farm that is just starting,they are easy to handle and very good mothers.The ciras can go with them so you will be getting three alpacas.
